I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 405: The middle stage of Taoism, the divine robe to avoid thoughts!
Xuefeng Mountain!
As the name suggests, this mountain is a snow mountain.

In Yaoyuan Mountain, the time is the same. It is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the climate is still hot. The surrounding sacred mountains are lush and green, with branches and leaves growing thickly. Some wild beasts and ferocious beasts with low cultivation and unable to avoid the heat are hiding in the shade to avoid the heat.

Only this mountain is unique.

It rises from the ground and towers into the clouds. From the foot of the mountain, there is snow, as if the entire mountain is made of ice and snow.

The higher we went, the stronger the wind and snow became, rustling and flying.

The biting cold wind seemed to blow out from the cracks in the cliff, it was so cold that ordinary ferocious beasts did not dare to set foot here.

Only a group of plump snow rabbits with soft fur, unaware of the severe cold, were frolicking all over the mountains.

On the top of the mountain, there is a nest of ice and snow. In the nest, a ferocious ice leopard several meters in size is perched on a piece of crystal clear ice and is sleeping soundly.

But suddenly, the ice leopard seemed to sense something, sniffed, slowly walked out of the nest, and looked into the distance.

On the top of the mountain, it saw a two-legged creature it had never seen before standing in the vast snow and wind.

The wind and snow were howling, but not a single snowflake fell on the two-legged creatures. The snow seemed to be flying around these creatures.

"The Xuantian Snow Lotus is a thousand-year-old treasure that can increase a thousand strands of magical power. Unfortunately, you don't understand how to transform your physical body and haven't mastered the Ruyi magical power, so you can only let me have it..."

The two-legged creature spoke, saying something that the Ice Leopard could not understand at all.

Although he didn't know what the two-legged creatures were roaring about, the Ice Leopard couldn't help but roar in a warning as he looked at the place where the two-legged creatures were standing.

I saw that a few feet in front of the two-legged creature, there was a crystal clear snow lotus that looked like it was carved from crystal.

The Ice Leopard did not know what this snow lotus was, but since he had lived on the top of the mountain, this lotus had been with him. "Eating meat" under this snow lotus always made him feel very comfortable.

At this moment, the two-legged creatures seemed to want to snatch its snow lotus. How could it tolerate this?
"Haha, you don't know the true purpose of this thing. What's the point of guarding it in vain?"

"Let me practice for a while!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan laughed loudly, and then a huge hand suddenly appeared above his head.

This big hand is hundreds of feet tall, standing majestically on the top of the mountain, but it is lifelike and full of agility. The thumb and middle finger of the big hand are connected, and suddenly it flicks, and the middle finger bounces up. A huge force suddenly comes out and hits the ice leopard's forehead directly with lightning speed.

The force of this flick of the finger was so incredible that before the Ice Leopard could react, it felt a black screen in front of its eyes and passed out.

"The True Scripture is truly extraordinary..."

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, the palm print formed by the innate Qi capturing seal, although it could capture enemy cultivators and had tremendous power, it was unable to perform this "finger-snapping" action. But now, this palm print was extremely agile, as if it had its own will, and was incredibly flexible.

This is the change brought about by "The True Scripture of the Innate Yuan Qi that Soars to the Divine Sky".

After transforming this sutra, Gu Yuan's magic power became more powerful, increasing by another 10% compared to before. However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that every strand of magic power is under the command of an arm and moves at will. Any seal activated by this magic power has more "flexible changes".

The changes of the Xiantian Qi Capturing Seal are the function of this sutra.

"go with!"

Seeing that the Ice Leopard had fainted, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves again, and in an instant, his magic power flowed and condensed into five-colored lightning patterns in the air. Then the lightning patterns arranged and merged by themselves, and in front of the Ice Leopard, they formed a five-colored thunder cage.

The Five Elements Thunder Prison Restriction Technique!
By practicing this sutra, not only can one transform the innate vital energy, but one can also control the thunder of the five elements and the thunder of yin and yang at will, and the restrictions set up will also be more mysterious.

Even the Five Elements Thunder Seal can be refined on the spot as long as Gu Yuan is given some spiritual materials.

"Zizzizi!"

On the top of the mountain, the five elements of lightning flowed, imprisoning the ice leopard tightly inside.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, then took slow steps and sat cross-legged on the Xuantian Snow Lotus.

The Xuantian Snow Lotus has a three-foot-high lotus seat, which is just the right size for a person to sit cross-legged on. It has six petals and is crystal clear, like an ice sculpture, which is very beautiful.

This lotus is a natural treasure. Any person or demon cultivator who sits cross-legged on it can absorb the essence accumulated by the spiritual lotus for thousands of years and greatly improve their practice.

However, in order to absorb the essence of the snow lotus, one must stand on the lotus with one's physical body, practice martial arts, and absorb the spiritual energy.

Although the ice leopard has been entrenched here for many years, its body is too huge and it does not know how to change. The three-foot space of the snow lotus is not enough for it to sit cross-legged. Moreover, its practice is entirely based on instinct. It does not understand the true scriptures and the secret methods. It sits on a mountain of treasures but is powerless, which only benefits Gu Yuan.

"It should be about the middle stage of the Dao fetus..."

Sitting cross-legged on the snow lotus, Gu Yuan's mind surged as he felt the spiritual power accumulated in the snow lotus, and he felt slightly happy in his heart.

The "True Scripture of the Innate Yuan Qi that Ascends to the Divine Sky" is more profound, and the speed of cultivation is naturally faster. Gu Yuan estimates that one can condense about twenty-five strands of magic power in a year, and the absorption of spiritual objects in heaven and earth will also be stronger.

Thanks to the power of the [Yu Ju Seal], Gu Yuan now has 19,000 strands of magic power. He only needs the last 1,000 strands to achieve the middle stage of Dao Tai.

There is no time to lose, it is better to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

"Let's get started!"

Gu Yuan once again placed a layer of restrictions outside the snow lotus. Then he calmed his mind, circulated his mantra, and began to stir up the surging spiritual energy under the snow lotus.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind and snow on the snowy peak, and heavy snow flew everywhere, covering the entire mountain top again in the blink of an eye.

The sky and earth were vast and dark.

Amidst the wind and snow, there is only an ice lotus, shining with endless spiritual light, illuminating the top of the mountain.

……

……

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The Ice Leopard stayed in the Five Thunder Prison for two full months.

During this time, it kept hitting the Thunder Prison, trying to escape, but the five-colored lightning patterns were entangled with each other, like a towering thunder wall that isolated the chaos. Every time it struggled, it would only get burned.

Over time, it no longer dared to hit the Thunder Prison.

It could only let out a low roar occasionally, and spent most of the time soundly sleeping.

One day, when he was still sleeping soundly, suddenly, a roar was heard on the top of the mountain.

The ice leopard shuddered and stood up.

On the top of the mountain, there were lightning and thunder. The colorful and strange thunder gathered into an ocean, flashing together and illuminating the sky and the earth.

"boom!"

Amidst the thunder, a handsome figure laughed loudly and walked out from the sea of ​​thunder as if strolling in the garden.

The endless thunder, when seeing this person, instantly turned into colorful "vital energy", and then was sucked into his stomach, disappearing without a trace.

This person is naturally Gu Yuan.

After two months of practice, he passed the last hurdle and achieved the middle stage of Taoism.

"You are lucky to have no magic skills and your fur is useless. We'll see you again if we are lucky enough..."

Gu Yuan's eyes shone with golden light. He suddenly looked towards the ice leopard and chuckled.

The ice leopard could not understand human language and was immediately frightened. It put its front paws on the ground and made a threatening gesture.

But Gu Yuan just waved his sleeves, and the Five Thunder Prison that trapped the Ice Leopard disappeared. Then Gu Yuan's figure flashed and disappeared directly on the top of the mountain, leaving the Ice Leopard confused and at a loss.

But in a flash, thunder rumbled in its stomach, and it forgot everything. It began to frantically catch fat snow rabbits in the snow and feast on them.

……

……

Xuanyin Mountain.

The mountain has a unique landform, as if it was split in half by a thin sword. The two peaks on the left and right are not connected, but are only a few feet apart, seemingly close yet distant, which is very strange.

The South Mountain receives sunlight, while the North Mountain receives moonlight. The essence of the sun and the moon condenses in this mountain, accumulating for thousands of years, and finally converges into a wonderful pool among the peaks and valleys.

There was a pool of liquid in the pond, with gold and silver flashing inside, illuminating the bottom of the cliff like gold and jade.

There is an ancient tree at the bottom of the cliff, with its back against the North Peak. After a thousand years of moonlight, the tree has changed. Its vines have grown wildly, its branches and leaves are like swords, and it has become a forest of one tree, emitting an intense yin energy.

Under the ancient tree, there are countless skeletons, all of which are the corpses of the ferocious beasts that passed by. This tree feeds on beasts, and its roots are infused with blood. It has a faint spiritual intelligence, but it is extremely evil and gloomy.

"Hoohoo!"

The mountain wind blew through the canyon, whimpering endlessly, and the branches and leaves of the ancient trees swayed, like the sound of thousands of long swords, filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

But in a flash, the whimpering sound changed again.

The sound of golden bells, the ringing of jade chimes, and the humming of small animals all sounded at the bottom of the cliff, filling the area with a peaceful atmosphere.

The gloomy air suddenly dissipated, and a peaceful white smoke gushed out, filled with an alluring breath, tempting the ferocious beasts passing by.

But this time, before the ferocious beast was lured away, a ray of light fell to the bottom of the cliff.

"I never thought it would be the Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid. I have been searching for something in vain. The Refining Treasure Heaven-Slaying Gourd can finally be upgraded..."

The rosy glow dissipated, revealing a handsome Taoist priest. His eyes were bright as he looked at the strange pool at the bottom of the cliff and smiled.

"clank!!"

At the moment the Taoist appeared, ancient vines flew and branches and leaves swirled, as if there were thousands of tentacles waving thousands of Konoha swords, attacking the Taoist together.

"boom!"

But the Taoist just pointed to the sky, and in an instant, a brilliant bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, carrying with it the aura of a heavenly calamity, and hit the ancient tree.

"boom!"

Leaves were flying and debris was all over the sky.

The ancient tree that dominated the area and could kill fourth-level mid-grade ferocious beasts turned into fragments and scattered.

"The Five Thunder Penalty Heaven Seal has also become a bit stronger..."

The Taoist sighed lightly, then waved his sleeves and disappeared again, along with the sun and moon flowing in the pool.

……

……

"Fourth-level medium-quality mineral essence, Gengjin fragments?"

The rosy glow flickered, and Gu Yuan's figure appeared on a golden sacred peak.

There are countless minerals and jades on this sacred peak, and there is also a fourth-level ferocious beast guarding it, but it was captured by Gu Yuan in a few breaths. Then he directly passed by countless minerals and jades and came to the depths of this natural mineral vein.

The grade of a mineral vein is not determined by the common gold and stone found in the mine.

Just like the spiritual mine in front of Gu Yuan, most of the mine is covered with ordinary second-level "broken ore", which can be used as a spiritual material for forging a second-level spiritual sword.

Going deeper, you can see scattered third-level "broken element ores", but the number is not large, only one or two occasionally.

At the deepest part is the essence of the mineral vein, also known as mineral essence. The grade of the mineral essence determines the grade of a mineral vein.

The mineral vein in front of us is a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual mine, because there is a fourth-grade medium-quality "Gengjin Shattered Yuan Stone" in this mine.

"Yes, with this stone, Jian Wan can be promoted again..."

The sword pill is a combination of a weapon and a seal. With the seal, Gu Yuan has obtained the true meaning of yin and yang and there is no need to supplement it. As long as his swordsmanship improves, the sword pill will change naturally.

However, as a tool, it still needs to be supplemented by external objects and constantly smelted to reach the ultimate state.

In fact, after the sword pill was engraved with the sword pattern, it was no longer an ordinary object. If the cultivator practiced it day and night, the sword pill could absorb and exhale the essence of the sun and the moon, constantly remove impurities, improve itself, and become a divine object.

It's just that this process is too long.

If a cultivator's practice speed is slow and he wastes time in vain, he can try slowly. The sword pill may even merge with his spirit and soul, resulting in more mysterious changes.

But Gu Yuan doesn't have that kind of skill.

It can only be promoted again through external things.

"Shh!"

Golden light flashed in his eyes, and Gu Yuan used his eyes to see everything in the mine. He then took away all the third-level ores inside, then turned into a rosy glow and disappeared on the spot.

……

……

One day later.

Qiaoshou Mountain.

The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the mountain breeze is blowing.

A giant python as white as snow was perched on an ancient tree, with its core sticking out. Above the sky, the moon was falling like water, sprinkling on the scales of the python, creating a silver frost.

Under the ancient tree where the python was coiled, two men and one woman were sitting cross-legged, with a golden fire gushing out in front of each knee.

In the center of the three people, a gray stone coat was wrapped in a ball of purple flame. Wisps of demonic energy were constantly burned away, revealing the mysterious spiritual patterns on the stone coat.

But suddenly, the purple flame seemed to lose its power and began to dim, and the spiritual patterns on the stone clothes also slowly faded, as if they were about to disappear into the stone clothes.

"My fellow Taoists, it's now!"

Suddenly, a light shout was heard from among the three people.

"boom!"

The three of them opened their eyes at the same time, and fire gushed out from their palms and landed on the stone clothes.

"Whoosh!"

On top of the ancient tree, the giant python as white as jade suddenly lowered its head, and the moonlight in the sky gathered into a ball of demonic fire and fell on the stone clothes.

"boom!"

With the help of the four fires, the spiritual patterns on the stone clothes suddenly shone brightly, as bright as the bright moon, and also as dark as the stone patterns, swaying between light and darkness.

In the end, everything disappeared, the spiritual patterns vanished, and only a gray, inconspicuous stone cloak was left hanging in the air.

"It's done!"

"A fourth-level thought-avoiding divine robe, with natural spiritual patterns, a rare treasure. Unless it exceeds a great realm, it is impossible to find it, and it is the best at hiding!"

Upon seeing this cloak-like divine robe, Master Ziyun could not help but be overjoyed.

After many months of hard work, day and night, it was finally refined.

Definitely satisfying!

"My dear, if you and I hold this robe, we can only be examined if we are at the peak of Daotai. If a real person holds this item, we can only be examined if we are at the middle stage of Yuanxiang..."

Seeing this, Qin Yun's beautiful eyes also brightened.

The exploration of a large realm is isolated and based on the level of cultivation. If you are in the early stage of Jindan, you need to be in the middle stage of Daotai to explore it. If you are in the early stage of Daotai, you need to be in the middle stage of Yuanxiang to explore it.

If it is at the peak of Daotai, I am afraid that even Yuanxiang realm may not be able to detect it.

It is a real treasure.

However, it can only be concealed from the Yuanxiang realm at most, and it is not feasible to conceal it from more than that. Moreover, it can only be concealed from the divine consciousness, but not from the eyes of the physical body's magical powers.

But it is precious enough.

"If Brother Dao returns and sees this treasure, he will surely be delighted!"

Qin Yun said with a smile.

Master Ziyun also nodded slightly.

He worked so hard because he naturally wanted Gu Yuan to be happy.

"It's thoughtful. It's really a treasure..."

At this moment, a ray of rosy light suddenly appeared in the dim moonlight, revealing Gu Yuan's figure.
